50..,.......

Log in to your blogger account and click the blog you would like to import into Wordpress.

Go to SETTINGS, PUBLISHING. Chances are you are publishing on blogspot.com.

Click the ?Switch to FTP? link and you will be taken to the FTP menu.

Fill in the different FTP fields with information from your server.

Change the BLOG FILE NAME to wordpress.php. Type your FTP Username and Password and click SAVE SETTINGS.

Go to the SETTINGS, FORMATTING tab.

Change the TIMESTAMP FORMAT from whatever it is set to to this format 9/23/04 11:53:01AM. It should be the first on the drop down list box. Click SAVE SETTINGS.

Go to the SETTINGS, ARCHIVING tab. Make sure Archive Frequency is set to MONTHLY and rename the archive file to wordpress.php

Go to the TEMPLATE tab and do a backup of your existing blogger template to be on the safe side.

To do that, block and copy your template code and paste it into any word editing program like NOTEPAD or WORDPAD. Save it as a txt or rtf file.

Go to the Wordpress Blogger Import Guide Page at http://myblogdomain/wp-admin/import-blogger.php and copy the import template code as shown below.

Go back to your Blogger Window, under Template and paste the import template code into the now empty box in your blogger screen. Click SAVE TEMPLATE CHANGES.

When you get the SETTINGS WERE SAVED SUCCESSFULLY message, click the REPUBLISH button just below it.

Wait for the YOUR BLOG PUBLISHED SUCCESSFULLY confirmation from your Blogger screen.

Make sure the blogger archive files were successfully imported into your wordpress directory. If you have an FTP client, you can check this by logging into your wordpress folder and looking for the archive files. They should look like this 2004_05_01_wordpress.php . The number of these files should depend on how many months you have archived in your blogger journal.

When that?s done, go back to the Wordpress Blogger Import Guide Page and click the OK button on the THIRD STEP as shown below.

Keep your fingers crossed! Congratulations to a successfully imported blog!

Slick advice above! :thumbsup

fuck yeah!
 

Thank you man, that was fuckin' HELPFUL!!! I will do it with one of my unimportant blogs first, backup, and try it again with the main blogs. Am using a wordpress friendly host so I might send them your instructions to see what they think.

Hey, this whole thread was a good wakeup call to backup and archive which I just did.

Thanks for the advice and instructions!

I guess this is a good spot to put....

I'll buy your old blogspot.com urls if your worried about them being pulled for adult content. Must be original text, and have some pr/backlinks.

This goes for any established sites you may have as well.

hardlinks |@| gmail.com

Yep, still works

Heheheheheh nice!!!

One tip: don't opt to have your blog be put on their DIRECTORY/SEARCH system. This means you wont get traffic from the "next blog" system at blogger BUT you can still get traffic from SEs and, of course, your own traffic generation efforts.

My two blogs are still up.

1. I removed myself from the directory.
2. I killed the search bar at the top of the page, which also removed the flag button.

:)

This is bad news..so who's an alternative?

Smart! I should have done that.. LMAO

This was posted on their site:

Maintenance tomorrow

We will have a downtime of one hour tomorrow at 6pm Pacific Time. Apologies for the extended maintenance - we're using this opportunity to perform a major database upgrade.

Perhaps thats why some sites are down.... either way im pulling my shit down.

That's what they e-mailed me... we'll see what happens.... LMAO

Don't post your url here. One of your buddies at GFY is sire to flag you.

They're good people aren't they?
LMAO

I know this is a stupid question, but ya'll are being so damn helpful in here, it's encouraging, so blame yourselves, lol. ;-P
If you host your own, or use Wordpress, don't you lose out on traffic from blogger or whatever blog network you are on?

There ya go!

Apparently my "behaviour" isn't looked upon favorably........ LMAO

Bitches..... that's okay, I'm glad I only had a couple. I'll just host all my own. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh Watch out though... they're going to get worse I think.

My reply:
:thumbsup

big brother got to them.

so what kind of content were you posting? softcore hardcore?

i think they are cancelling adult ones hosted on blogspot subdomains, i know a few people i traded with who lost theirs, but i know people who use blogger hosted on their own domain who have never had a problem. its just they dont wanna have anything to do with that type of material on bloggers servers.

All softcore 2257 compliant.

I totally agree. Mine was blogger hosted. I was to lazy to convert it. I just like pointing out the hyprocrisy. It's the same hyprocisy between google adwords and advertisers. Feel free to bid $15 a click for "sex" but just don't advertise it on an "adult website" kinda thing.

This is the first time to my knowledge blogger admits they delete blogs that do not follow their TOC. It's a shame, i also have a couple of old blogs on blogger (yup, even me)

One might consider using thumblogger, it's a free adult blog host which is in business for over 1 year without experiencing any problems.

Where did you hit search box???

my blog is fine

Check it out!

Review your blog for spam
 

If i want to update via blogger I get this notice:

Your blog requires word verification

Blogger's spam-prevention robots have detected that your blog has characteristics of a spam blog. (What's a spam blog?) Since you're an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and we sincerely apologize for this false positive.

Before we can turn off mandatory word verification on your posts we'll need to have a human review your blog and verify that it is not a spam blog. Please fill out the form below to get a review.

Would you submit yours?

anyway
 

I answered my own question. As of today I've got one Wordpress blog (with more to come) up on my own site's server, safe from the insanity over at Blooogle.

they could be just filtering them out of the search, but who knows what google is up to these days.

I lost 3 adult sites but they were splogs, used entirely for spam, all my other adult blogs (about 20) are still available.

Also, keep in mind that blogs that feature teens and use words like very young, school girls, virgins, etc., will most likely get dropped first, and other offensive themes like scat, and any thing suggesting rape.

I think most other adult blogs are pretty safe for now unless you use them for spamming.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Spam Blogs SPLOGS
 

btw, a spam blog, also known as splogs are used to spam new sites and affiliates. Red flags would be too many posts during the day, duplicate content, repeated messages, and posts with just links to web sites for B&P.
Many spammers use blogger for this and some ping services even block out blogger, blogspot. This could also be why Google is clamping down on adult blogs, aother culprits are pharmacuticals, and gambling.

you can still use bloggers and host them on your server, that way if you get dropped, you won't loose the SE traffic!

How did you disable the search bar :upsidedow

I think its like this

<body>
</noembed>

Thanks!

It works :)

Everything seems to be going normal here. Nothing pulled!

They don't care it's all unproductive bandwidth burning free loaders looking for more free porn. :2 cents:

If you do this, view the source of the resulting blog. If they have put a nofollow tag in there you need to replace the code that generated this. Will post it later if nobody does in the meantime. :upsidedow

Holy mother of blue christ.

<meta name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX,NOFOLLOW" />

I don't know, but the SE will not find me.. And this site is a few weeks old....
http://nakedteenz.blogspot.com

If you have archives on your blogs you need to check them as well. I noticed blogger had added a new set of archives on top of my old ones that had NO FOLLOW tags in them. If you change the template, publish a post, or do anything that requires an update choose UPDATE INDEX ONLY and then go in and remove the tag from your index page because it will add it back.

Anyone using blogger to update your sites...even if you host them yourself on your own domain, be aware of this shit. All my archive pages had NOFOLLOW tags, and after deleting it from my index pages, on update it added the NOFOLLOW tag back to the index page.

What kind of lowlife shit is that?! :mad:

<meta name="KEYWORDS" content="blogspot,

haha why in the fuck would blogspot be your first keyword.

BlingDaddy is the blog master.

So are they saying 100% no to adult or just no to hosting on Blogspot?
